Holiday movies fill our hearts with joy. Between Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas, It's a Wonderful Lifetime (or Fa La La La Lifetime, if you prefer) and ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas, there are so many movies and so little time.
To help you, our friends, we have sacrificed by watching as many of these movies as possible and will give you our two cent review. Hopefully this will help you know what you do or do not want to watch.

It’s always Christmas in Santaville! But now, tiny Chester, Vermont’s
year-round yuletide attraction is losing its widespread appeal. On the
verge of bankruptcy, the resident St. Nick is hoping for a Christmas
miracle to keep his dream from being bulldozed into another mini mall.
Nick Crosby (Tom Arnold) is the owner of Santaville and head Santa. One
day he is smiling with visitors, the next, he is juggling a cascading
stack of bills, unable to pay the rent and blissfully thinking a
solution will magically appear. When his daughter – and onetime Number
One elf, Holly (Candace Cameron Bure), returns home, she is shocked to
learn of her father’s situation. Holly recruits Peter, Nick’s employee
and master wood craftsman, to devise a solution to the money woes.

Our Two Cents:

We started watching this one night and I couldn't take the bad acting and had to turn it off. Plus, Tom Arnold isn't our favorite. But we didn't delete it. So one night when this movie was the only unwatched movie left on our TiVo, we decided to give it another try. Once you get past the beginning scene with the kids, and get to present time, it gets better, not great, but better.

We said Christmas Under Wraps is Candace's best yet, this one is probably her worst.
